The BFG Hardcover

Master storyteller Roald Dahl is by far the most popular children’s writer of the late twentieth century, and The BFG (the Big Friendly Giant), recently adapted for the stage with great success, is set to become a classic of its period (it was first published in 1982) This story of a vegetarian giant who disapproves of eating children has all the Dahl ingredients of humor, irreverence, and verve that have made readers of countless youngsters. The humor is perfectly matched by Quentin Blake’s irresistible drawing.

The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look

“Human beans are not really believing in giants, are they? Human beans are not thinking we exist.”

One dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant!

Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant (the BFG), who is no ordinary bone-crunching giant, but instead prefers snozzcumbers and frobscottle to children.

But there are other giants in Giant Country. And those giants have a plan to gallop far and wide to find some tasty human beans to eat.

Can Sophie and the BFG stop them?
